I was so excited to visit the Women‘s Suffrage History Museum in Seneca Falls, New York this morning. The battle for women‘s suffrage in the US started here in 1848, when a delegation of women and men met at a local church and wrote out a doctrine to begin the fight for suffrage. Naturally, I had to buy a bunch of goodies, including these two books. The necklace says “Well behaved women rarely make history.”

An era with early hints of the #suffragemovement, this books addresses the lack of education, safety and hygiene that women were subjected to along with the beauty standards of that time
